Original Daredevil showrunner Steven DeKnight has called out the trend of projects being scrapped despite already having been filmed. 

Recently, AMC canceled two TV shows that had been shot already: the second season of 61st Street was scrapped after production had been completed, while Invitation to a Bonfire had filmed four out of six episodes. 

"The WGA, DGA, and SAG-AFTRA need to crack down on this practice during their next respective negotiations," DeKnight wrote on Twitter, referring to multiple unions. "Pull that shit, face HUGE financial penalties paid to the cast, crew, and creatives. Watch it stop real quick."
